When searching output for multiple strings it is easy to misexpress your intent, which could make a failing test pass. Such cases can be caught and reported to the programmer.

For example, for this search to succeed it is sufficient for the output to consist only of the `"error: bad"` string:


checkOutput(..., "error:", "error: bad", ...)
